What's on your menu today RNYer?(Saturday)

Morning Weekenders!

thought I'd jump in this morning! I know the weekend crew was already small before we lost so many people, but I want to keep this thread going! It's important for many of us.

Red bull crashed ice is this weekend and we went to check it out yesterday. Crazy cold! But a lot of fun!

qotd: what's been an unexpected perk of weight loss? Something that wasn't even on your list of reasons? I have a couple: clearance clothes!! You never find deals when you are wearing 4x-5x clothes! I was always just happy to find something that fits. Now I have to remind myself that I don't need to buy a 45$ t-shirt. This lady has options!

The other one is noticing people in my life making positive changes in their life, because they've seen that they make a difference. It's really cool to hear that!

Menu:

B:protein shake

L/D: kind of up in the air. I haven't decided if I'm staying in the city, or heading to the farm. But I know it will include homemade chicken satay. I've been craving it for a while now!

take care everyone!

Good morning!

QOTD: My unexpected so far is I have lost so much since Monday! I had a few people tell me to stay away from the scales and although I typically listen to their advice this was not something I could do. But I was prepared for my weight to be more or stay the same for a while. But that has not been the case. I was 236.5 morning of surgery (by my scale) and this morning I am 225.2. I have never been this small in my entire adult life. My double chin is almost non-existent already and my wrist and ankles look bony :) (at least for me!).

I have been telling myself that I wanted to be in one-derland by Disneyland (even though we are going to Disney World, it sounded better). Since we are going in July I think I may have to revise my goal!

Menu:

Still on post-op liquids. So goal is to get more liquids and more protein in than yesterday.

I am actually looking forward to a treat today. We have a place called Pelican's Snowballs that is open seasonally. Kind of like an itallian ice but way finer ice. They have sugar free flavors so that will be something I will be looking forward to today.

We are also taking my daughter to a zoo-ish type place. You drive your car through and can feed the animals while they stick their heads in your windows. It is a lot of fun, and a lot better than seeing animals stuck in cages. Then tonight my husband is taking us to some wrestling match where some guy named Animal (supposed to be famous) will appear. They are much more excited than me about this. What I am excited about is family outings not involving food. I am a go go go type person but most of those go's used to be finding somewhere good to eat. Ready for these changes!

Yay! That's awesome. You're definitely going to blow that goal out of the water!

and I agree with you about non food centred activities! So fun! It can take a bit of effort to come up with ideas sometimes, but so worth it!!

World > Land but you're right it flows.

Pelican's is the BEST....they've even done plain ones for me when I don't feel like having any syrup at all. I don't like super sweet stuff so I've even had 1/2 syrup.

It sounds, from your post, that you are feeling better?

Much better! But Pelicans wasn't the same without my greenaide flavor! lol

I love red raspberry, that's my jam (or was...not sure if they have a sugar-free version of that one!)

Morning Menu Family..... Today is a busy one. Cleaning and getting ready for our daughter to come home next weekend, I am excited I love when she comes home because it means our house will be filled with her and all her friends and I miss complaining about all the noise and all our food and drinks being eaten by all the visitors. Tonight we are going to see some local theater which will be nice, my husbands mentor and this woman who has given us a lot of advise for our daughter over the years is the musical director so when she told us about the show we knew we needed to go support it.

QOTD: I agree with you InsertFitness buying clothes off the rack is awesome! Before when we traveled anywhere I felt I needed to pack my whole wardrobe because if something happened I could not just go into Target and pick up a shirt or pants. I always used to say to my family don't worry if you forget something they have stores there you know but for myself I knew that was not the case but now I can say that and know I can pick up something if I forget it.

The other thing for me is more energy my oh my some days I can't sit still especially on weekends during the week at work I am on the go quite a bit but on weekends I am constantly saying to my husband lets go do something. I can't wait for golf season to start my father purchased a family membership at his club this year so I am going to add that to my new skill list. He already got us net to practice with...

So onto food for the day:

B: coffee coffee coffee and hard boiled egg white 2 slices of bacon

L: left over chicken

D: We are going out to dinner on the menu of the restaurant is this gumbo that looks great so I might get that without the brown rice.

Have a great day friends....

I hadn't even thought about how prepared I had to be when packing for trips! Extra nylons, because I knew I couldn't just run to a pharmacy for a new pair! "Always be prepared" isn't just for the scouts!

• Mm barbecued chicken satay ! One of my favorites!

I usually go to bed with the chickens and wake up super early in the dark ... hungry as a racehorse . So I have breakfast one and then breakfast two when I really wake up in the morning .

Breakfast one - five potato cheese pierogies ( mrs Ts ) toasted with spray oil and sautéed in butter buds ( freeze dried fat free butter solids )

chai tea lattes with fat free powdered milk truvia and fat free whipped cream

i also ate about a cupful of delicious blueberries in the nite - its weird cuz I like the taste but I lost the craving for fruit ( I used to Love cherries and apricots )

breakfast two - just a luxurious latte so far with the works chai tea from a box home brewed filtered organic tea fat free milk truvia and fat free whipped cream .

Because I usually drink them on the run - no sweetener no cream rarely time to add the boxed stuff this tastes like a meal lol ! ( also very like a 900 calorie concoction from Starbux )

I feel like eating beans - way too much meat lately . Not sure if it's a good idea . I rocked my "sexy " jeans the other day comortably strutting in higher wedgie heels and barely had a tummy roll sitting down yippee ! Even rocked a "smaller " body hugging leather jacket with a totally definition -showing " wife beater " tank top ( like the pic)

Its twenty degrees out so the Meetup hike might be out - maybe a mall walk or Zumba class in a new gym.

My unexpected extra perk is inheriting beautifully made ridiculously expensive hand-me-downs from a tiny working-actress ( star ) girlfriend.

Im not talking extra smalls here ... she wears these ultra tiny Italian sizes or just sample sizes made for models .

Half the time I just Hope to wear them honestly.. but I have high hopes . After all I Got to wear ( and still wear ) my "thin" clothes and aspirational clothes:)
